iOS hotspots are discoverable by non-Apple devices if you have "Allow Others to Join" enabled and have the Personal Hotspot settings panel open on the iOS device. Otherwise, it's hidden to help prevent unintended connection attempts.

I suspect they mean sharing the password for a regular wifi network, not running a hotspot.

That feature hardly works between iPhones anyway. It’s easier to just open the passwords app and show the QR code.
